The OP would probably have bought the helmet and had a better cycling experiences wearing it but thanks to your lack of experience and meaningless reviews of something you've never had,
he just may never enjoy the benefits of a good helmet. That ignorance is the embarrassment.
Oh, I'm sure I will someday Mr. Beanz. Since right now my ride distances usually average less than 20 miles, I'm not on the bike for hours on end, so I guess a lighter helmet isn't much of a concern for me right now. And besides, although I have nothing to compare it to, I think my new helmet is pretty comfortable.
However, once I can get my distances longer on a more consistent basis and I'm on my bike for 3, 4 or more hours at a time, I may find I need a lighter / better helmet, along with other things to lighten the load, maybe even a lighter bike.
